Review from N P (Mother of Child) published on 21 May 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
The overall journey from visiting the nursery to onboarding & starting officially has been positive.

The staff are helpful & our son has settled in comfortably. His development is coming along really well since starting, including walking & saying words. He eats well at nursery & spends a lot of time outdoors, which im personally very happy about as it's good for his wellbeing & development. We feel content whilst our son is at nursery & our little boy seems very happy & content going to nursery too. Thank you to all the staff at Bright Horizons, we appreciate you.

Reply from Sarah Walker, Parent Experience coordinator at Bright Horizons Milford Day Nursery and Preschool

Thank you for your lovely feedback! We're so pleased your son has settled in well and is thriving, it's wonderful to hear how happy and content he is, and how much you value our care and outdoor experiences.

Overall Experience

Bright Horizons nursery in Milford is truly exceptional. Every single member of staff is highly professional and friendly. We are provided with regular detailed development assessments and my daughter has bonded well with a number of keyworkers. All the activities are carefully planned and interesting. My daughter is encouraged to develop her skills. The overall atmosphere is joyful and calm, and all staff are attentive and helpful. We have previously sent my daughter to other childcare settings but none compare to this, I can't fault it. Thank you for your dedication and hard work. It makes such a difference for parents needing to return to work knowing their children are being well cared for by true professionals.

Review from E O (Mother of Child) published on 10 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child has been attending this nursery since she was 9 months old. She is now 2+ and is absolutely thriving here. She adores the staff and looks forward to going to nursery every day. The quality of the different daily indoor and outdoor development activities is outstanding, as well as the communication with parents so I can see what she's been getting up to everyday. I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough.

We have been really pleased with the time our son has had in preschool so far. The staff are friendly, welcoming and supportive. They plan and prepare activities which are appropriate for our child's development and the observations available in the app give us feedback and next steps. We are very happy that we have secured a place for our younger son next year. A fantastic nursery. Highly recommend.

My son has been coming to Bright Horizons Milford Day Nursery and Preschool since he was 10 months and is now in preschool. I am very pleased with his progress and over the years, I have noticed the change in his development. All the staff are amazing and will always be there for support. They do a variety of different activities throughout the day which my son enjoys and they will plan around his interests too. We will miss Bright Horizons when my son starts school in September.

Our experience of Bright Horizons Milford Day Nursery and Preschool has been perfect. The staff cannot do enough for us, our children are happy, supported and thriving. Our children have additional needs which are easily met by the staff, nothing is too much trouble. Management has always been amazing and we feel our support network has grown by coming to this nursery. The staff all genuinely care for my children and celebrate their milestones alongside us. We couldn't be happier that we picked for our twins to come here and recommend to everyone.

Hi, I am Rebecca, the Nursery Manager.

I have worked at Milford since 2004 and I became manager in 2012. I love supporting, caring and working with our families to ensure we provide excellent childcare for their children. I have two children of my own so I am able to work closely with parents that find leaving their children hard and sympathize with the challenges this brings as a parent. My door is always open to everyone.

Hannah Job Title: Deputy Manager
Hannah

I have been a part of the team here at Milford for eight years now, and have fulfilled many different roles during this time. I have worked my way up from a nursery nurse to my current position of Deputy Manager, gaining lots of valuable experience along the way.

I thoroughly enjoy working to support all our families and children at the nursery and love how no two days are ever the same in childcare.

I have a little girl of my own who I absolutely adore and we enjoy lots of traveling in our spare time.
